- The preferential CO oxidation (CO-PROX) reaction is paramount for the purification of reformate H₂-rich streams, where CuO/CeO₂ catalysts show promising opportunities. This work sheds light on the lattice oxygen recovery mechanism on CuO/CeO₂ catalysts during CO-PROX reaction, which is critical to guarantee both good activity and selectivity, but that is yet to be well understood. Particularly, in situ Raman spectroscopy reveals that oxygen vacancies in the ceria lattice do not form in significant amounts until advanced reaction degrees, whereas pulse O₂ isotopic tests confirm the involvement of catalyst oxygen in the CO and H₂ oxidation processes occurring at all stages of the COPROX reaction (Mars−van Krevelen). Further mechanistic insights are provided by operando near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP−XPS) and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) experiments, which prove the gradual CuO reduction and steady oxidized state of Ce ions until the very surface reduction of CeO₂ at the point of selectivity loss. Experiments are complemented by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which reveal a more facile oxygen refill according to the trend CuO > CeO₂ > Cu₂O. Overall, this work concludes that the oxygen recovery mechanism in CO-PROX switches from a direct mechanism, wherein oxygen restores vacancy sites in the partially reduced CuO particles, to a synergistic mechanism with the participation of ceria once CuₓO particles reach a critical reduction state. This mechanistic switch ultimately results in a decrease in CO conversion in favor of the undesired H₂ oxidation, which opens-up future research on potential strategies to improve oxygen recovery
